    I received a garnishment summons last Friday from this law office. When I called, the paralegal that I spoke with told me that my wages were being garnished for a credit card that was opened over 10 years ago. I have no recollection of opening a card through synchrony and not paying it. When I asked him to tell me which store the card was from, he gave me a random credit card number and told me to ****** it. My ****** search revealed that the card number beginning in 6019 is for ****** Furniture. I have never had a credit card with ****** Furniture. There is no record of an account from synchrony bank with an unpaid balance of ******* on my credit report. Today when I went to check my bank balance, there was a levy on my account for over $1900 (a higher amount that the total amount due). I contacted the law office and was met by a very unpleasant paralegal, ******* Torino. He could not answer my questions and was very condescending on the telephone. I've looked up the reviews for this company and it seems I am not alone in feeling like I am being scammed.

    I have attempted to contact them multiple times at least 15 calls and an email to discuss a legal matter. They have not picked once and have not responded to my email or voicemail. How are we supposed to get our matters settled if there is no response?

    They do not answer the phone, return calls. If they do, they halfway ignore you while you are trying to resolve a problem. These people should not be employed anywhere, nearly criminals themselves. I have read other reviews where they were paid in full, and continued to garnish and take money. Sometimes, the money never makes it to the lender who's supposed to get it. I too had a debt with Velocity Investments, I forgot about this debt, and I fell 2 months behind. They put a lien/garnishment on my savings account for the entire balance. Not one email, or phone call, asking for a payment, or a warning that I was behind. I have refinanced this debt, and wired them the money for settlement. If something other than what is supposed to happen, happens, they will be hearing from my attorney, and I will be suing for much more than what I owe, because of lost wages, undue stress, and hardship, while dealing with this catastrophe.

    I paid in full to Patrick T*****. And then received a second request from Phillip C******, but of the same firm asking for additional money for a closed claim. Phillip C****** has request a judgement for money that was paid to Patrick T***** of the same firm for the same account to Merrick Bank.
    I have copies of my bank payments to Mr, T*****, I need a resolution and I am not able to get Mr, T***** back on the phone. His phone number is *** *********. Please help me.
